There’s a situation happening all across the world and so far, only the British news media seems to have reported upon it.

Right now there are numerous intelligent women across the land who are presently in crisis mode. It’s all due to an actor whom you may or may not be aware of named Benedict Cumberbatch. You’ll probably be very aware of him soon. He’s currently shooting the new Star Trek movie, he appeared inTinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and War Horse, and he is the eponymous star of the BBC detective serial,Sherlock.

You also should know that Benedict Cumberbatch isn’t a man. He’s a situation that me and most of my friends are all having.

Since the last series of Sherlock aired, perfectly nice and law abiding ladies have been feverishly pirating copies of “The Reichenbach Fall” and posting dreamy GIFs of its climatic moments on tumblr. Clips from YouTube of Mr. Cumberbatch reading children’s stories, imitating Alan Rickman and dancing to “Thriller” have been flooding Gmail inboxes across the globe. For my part, I actually built myself a “Cumbernest” this past weekend. Instead of leaving the house and meeting actual men, I surrounded my bed with wine, water, and British chocolate all in preparation to watch Cumberbatch star in the BBC movie Hawking. I then sent a friend multiple texts that essentially broke down to “Have you watched Hawking yet?”, “Watch Hawking. Watch Hawking. WatchHawking.”, and finally, “MY NERVES.”

I think anyone who assumes we ship slash purely because we enjoy turning characters gay should get off their high horse and actually take a moment or two to realise that homosexual relationships are exactly the same as heterosexual relationships and two guys can go together as perfectly as a guy and a girl can and most of us actually don’t like them together purely so they can have hot sex. I’ll use some examples…

People say they ship Arwen because they like Arthur and Gwen together; we ship Merthur because we like Merlin and Arthur together. People say they ship Arwen because Arthur and Gwen balance each other out; we ship Merthur because Merlin and Arthur balance each other out. People say they ship Arwen because they have a beautiful relationship; we ship Merthur because they have a beautiful relationship.

I honestly don’t understand why some people think we only ship boys with boys or girls with girls because we like them being homosexual. Where on Earth is the logic? The enjoyment comes from the funny scenes, the angsty scenes, the development of the characters separately and together. You can’t understand why we ship Merthur? Simply think, watch these two together and you may begin to understand why - even if you personally don’t ship them romantically.

This has been a practically irrelevant addition to a small part of a confession that no-one will read.

The bag slips from his hand and crashes to the ground, but John barely hears it over the roaring in his ears, so very taken by surprise at the sight he’d almost completely passed by and stares at now, vision tunneling. It is, after all, just another scene of vandalism, something that someone is going to have to clean up eventually. Graffiti is not uncommon in the city, after all, and he sees it frequently. It’s always just another part of the background, something to go unnoticed.

But this time it is different.

For a brief moment, as he takes in the message, the meaning of the words, the pain stops.

The ache in his leg is soothed, the agony in his chest eases, and for the first time in months he feels like he can actually breathe again.

In that moment, he’s alive once more, running the alleys with his best friend and chasing after fleeing criminals, happier than he could ever imagine himself to be.

But the moment passes far too quickly, and soon enough his pains return and reality reasserts itself. He leans down and grabs his bag with his trembling left hand, his right fisted tightly around the handle of his cane. He limps away quickly, feeling more tired now than he ever had before.

 #anyone who says sherlock doesn’t pay attention to others’ whims is blind #he stole an ashtray because john mentioned it #and you can see sherlock’s pleased smile when john laughs at it in the car #because sherlock might be a complete nuisance and hindrance and danger magnet to john most of the time #but then there are those small moments where he does something he would never have done if john weren’t there #and he does them specifically because he knows it’ll make john laugh or make him happy #and pleasing john makes sherlock happy too

“I imagine John Watson thinks love is a mystery to me, but the chemistry is incredibly simple and very disruptive.”

It’s still about John. Even in the midst of these scenes.

… That … is an interesting thought.

It’s interesting because even in moments between Sherlock and Irene, John is always… present.  He is always… remembered.

It is interesting why Irene had to resort to revealing to John of all people that she was still alive.  With all due respect to the beautiful and conniving Ms. Adler, whom I adore, I still find it incredibly insulting that Irene believed for a moment that she can actually talk John into betraying Sherlock for her, into helping her steal her phone back.

… Or was that actually her intention?

Was she, perhaps, testing him? The way Mycroft did so long ago?

Was she, perhaps, testing herself as well?  What was she willing to bargain with John, to get what she wants?  She did eventually bend to John’s begging to tell Sherlock she was still alive.

… Or was she actually simply looking to John to give her the convenient excuse to do what she wanted anyway, to talk to Sherlock again?

Why did she remember John, of all people?  Could she have felt a connection with him — not necessarily him as a person, but with him as a person who cares for Sherlock Holmes?  And is that why she chose to meet him?  To see what she could learn from him?

And even in that moment in the flat, when it was just Sherlock and Irene alone, finally… Sherlock had to ask where John is, first.  He looked for him, even during this quiet, vulnerable, sizzling moment when he could be alone with The Woman.  I think he was thrilled to be with her, to be honest.  But at the same time… I think he’s also unconsciously seeking John for… guidance?

Perhaps… in the same way that Irene sought John’s guidance in that dark warehouse?

Why do they both look for John Watson, even when they’re with each other?  Why do they remember him?  What do they want to learn and know from him?

And why does Sherlock remember John, most of all, when it came to love?

John, it’s always John, even after everyone else has left him, it is always John. And it always will be

#john is the most stable #controlled person in that show #he knows what he believes in and he’ll stand up and fight for it #i think that’s something irene and sherlock admire #even mycroft #because they aren’t like that #they’re always playing games #always trying to be one step ahead #sherlock said heroes don’t exist because he isn’t one but john watson is #this episode made me love john more than ever

Re-rebloging because THIS

This had to of been what Benedict meant when he said that John was in more control.
